Ethereum’s zkAPI is now live on mainnet, turning an earlier zero-knowledge API payment proposal into a working implementation for private, prepaid access.

Glamsterdam will bring proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists and new gas pricing, while its mainnet date remains unset.

BitMine could reach 5% of Ether’s supply by early November, while Tom Lee has left open whether it would continue buying beyond that level.

Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin said PeerDAS marked the start of Ethereum’s transition “from being just a blockchain to being something much more powerful.”

THORChain refuses to blacklist addresses linked to the Bitget hack. Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum is evolving from being a mere blockchain, into a world cryptographic computer.

Trueo said Base was the right choice when it launched, as Ethereum gas fees were higher, but said mainnet now offers greater integration potential.

The non-profit signaled support for reducing Ethereum block times, citing increasing institutional activity moving onto the smart-contract network.

Ethereum and Base are pursuing different account abstraction designs after talks failed, according to Ethlabs researcher Derek Chiang.

Bitmine now has more than 5 million ETH staked, turning most of its Ether holdings into a recurring income stream as it continues to accumulate.

The restructuring will separate MetaMask’s consumer business from Consensys’ Ethereum protocols and institutional blockchain infrastructure operations.

While Bitmine’s completed 97% of its goal to acquire 5% of Ether’s supply, Tom Lee’s team faces a $5.1 billion unrealized loss on its main treasury asset.

Gnosis Chain was approved to transition to an EEZ rollup, enabling it to settle directly to Ethereum rather than continue with an independent validator set.

Developers have been urged to test on Plataberget before Glamsterdam’s new gas model reaches Ethereum’s other testnets and mainnet.

Tom Lee’s Ethereum treasury company keeps buying the second-biggest crypto through the downturn, while more than 5 million staked ETH is projected to generate $287 million in annual rewards.

The Hegotá upgrade aims to introduce more native privacy for Ethereum applications.

Advances in compact proofs have erased Poseidon’s previous performance advantage, according to researcher Justin Drake.

Bitmine’s Ether staking revenue is an important financial buffer that fills financial gaps and provides recurring revenue streams beyond Ether’s price appreciation, analysts told Cointelegraph.

Fidelity plans to add staking to its Ether fund, with 85% of rewards retained by FETH and quarterly cash distributions planned for investors.

Ethereum’s proposed EIP-8363 staking overhaul aims to reduce issuance, but critics say it could hurt DeFi, decentralization and institutional adoption.
